Happy Friday everyone!
I hope everyone had a great week! - It snowed 12 inches of heavy snow yesterday and today is quite cold out but other than that, we are all doing great!
I missed my Freebie Friday last week so this week I have 4 watercolor papers for you instead of my usual 1 single paper :)
They are full size (3600x3600), 300 dpi and best of all, they are CU!
Emmalee and I were having a craft day with watercolors yesterday and this is what we came up with - Hope you like it and can use it in some good scrapping! :)

Don't forget to stop by on Tuesday for some more neat CU items for the Gothic Inspirations February Blogtrain "Will Work For Scraps!". I have something I made for Val Day that I think you will like :)

What a very long and cold week we have had here in Western Maryland last week & there is more to come as well :(
But the cold couldn't stop a new kit from coming out, right? :) This week I have a neat little Valentine's Day Kiddie type kit for you just added to TKO Scraps this evening. The colors are not the traditional reds and pinks but an array of vibrant colors all together. Hope you like it!

But before I show you the new kit preview...

I'd like to send out a special Happy Birthday

to my husband David's Great Grandmother

who turned 103 yesterday - YES 103 !!!!

Happy Birthday Elsie!

Having those feelings of that first crush rolling in your mind? Being so young, not knowing what to say or do. Maybe you sent them a special note or just punched that special person right in the arm! You can relive those childhood crushes again with "I Think I Luv U " in your scrap projects or tags!

This personal use kit is tagger size which includes:

82 cherishing elements

28 affectionate coordinating papers

Sneak a wink at that special someone again in "I Think I Luv You" before the bell rings and the chance is gone!

Hello everyone!
I have a new PTU kit for you all just added at TKO Scraps today called "Love Story". Since Valentines is not too far away, this could be a neat little kit for those lovey scrap projects or tags you have.
Hope you like it!
(P.S. - I will have a little cu F R E E Z I E for you all on Friday :)

Love is on your mind but just you are too afraid to do anything about it. Wouldn't it be nice to have your own a little love fairy to spark up that special feeling you are having and give you that little extra nudge in the right direction? That exsists here in "Love Story" for your scrap projects and tag needs!

Sorry I haven't been around much this week. It has been a busy one here on the homefront. But I did get some time to get a new PTU kit done and it's now available at TKO Scraps right now! It is called "Monster Mash" and it's full of fun elements for a great tag or a scrap project that you might have in mind. I have been feeling the winter blaaas, so I decided to give a little springy feel to this kit.
Hope you like it! (And the name ~ came from my little Emmalee as I was making it. Now all she has been doing is singing it all week....lol)

Have a monsterous day!

Just when you think everything is calm you hear something. Then you see something. Is that a monster? They look friendly but are they? Yes they are friendly and they are ready to party! What better way to party with a couple of little monsters than "Monster Mash" for your scrap projects or tags!
